Parents of USD 298 students - thank you for your continued support of our students, staff, and school community. At enrollment, you were asked to complete the Household Economic Survey (HES) and many of you did and we thank you. This form replaces what used to be the Free and Reduced Lunch Application. Even though school meals are free this school year, it is important that we continue to secure funding sources for our school. The dollars generated through these resources fund salaries for teachers and staff and also helps us purchase classroom supplies. If you were not able to complete the survey or have not returned it to your child’s school, or if your household income has changed from this summer, please take a minute to complete the attached form. It is also available at each school building or the school board office.

The district's first Newline Interactive Board has been installed! Mrs. Wolting and her students are quickly learning how to operate the board. Mrs. Wolting says, "Our Newline boards provide a much needed technology update and a way to help students learn and stay engaged. When lessons need recorded or if we have to ever go back to remote learning, the Newline Interactive Board provides a simple way to record and share lessons. My students are excited about multiple students being able to work at the board solving problems. The enthusiasm they have when using it is so exciting!"
The Cross Country meet scheduled for today at Tescott has been postponed. No makeup date has been scheduled yet.
